Field-proven, time-tested and environmentally hardened, Actelis products deliver up to 100 Mbps of symmetrical Ethernet service per customer over existing copper infrastructure. Actelis’ strength and market leadership is due to our ability to achieve unprecedented Rate, Reach and Reliability, or what we refer to as The 3 R’s of EFM™, on any grade of available copper.

Available in either 2, 4 or 8 copper pairs with optional SFP fiber configurations*, the ML620 EAD can be deployed in a Point-to-Point configuration, optional copper Add-Drop chain, or as the CPE in a Point-to-Multi-Point configuration with Actelis’ EFM switches.

The ML630 supports 8 copper pairs with optional SFP fiber configurations. The ML630 EAD can be deployed in a Point-to-Point configuration, optional copper Add-Drop chain, or as the CPE in a Point-to-Multi-Point configuration with Actelis’ EFM switches.

Actelis ML 640The ML640 Ethernet Access Device (EAD) from Actelis Networks® is the most intelligent Ethernet service delivery on the market. Using the existing copper network, the ML640 can deliver up to 100 Mbps of symmetrical Ethernet traffic at fiber quality over existing voice-grade copper. The ML640 comes in two models capable of supporting either 4 or 8 copper pairs, and has 2 optional SFP interfaces supporting 100/1000Base-FX optical connections.

The ML640 EAD can be deployed back-to-back in a Point-to-Point topology or in Multi-Point topologies with Actelis’ Ethernet aggregation switches. With its superior performance, extensive functionality and low cost, the ML640 EAD offers rapid service delivery and allows for complete utilization of the existing network infrastructure.

Actelis ML 698The Actelis Networks® ML698 expands our central office solutions, offering a compact and cost-effective Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) mini-aggregation solution for low-pair count locations. The ML698 operates in a Point-to-Multipoint topology, connecting to up four ML600 Ethernet Access Devices (EADs) delivering symmetrical Ethernet access services to remote subscribers over multiple voice-grade copper pairs. Each of the ML600 EADs can be connected to the ML698 via a High Speed Link (HSL) comprised of 1-8 bonded copper pairs. Any combination of copper pairs per HSL can be supported to a total of 8 pairs per ML698 unit.

Actelis ML 1300 Aggregation SwitchThe ML1300 is an Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) aggregation switch, delivering symmetrical Ethernet services to remote subscribers over multiple voice-grade copper pairs within the customer service area. The ML1300 allows service providers and enterprises to use the existing copper infrastructure to deliver up to 100 Mbps of Ethernet service per customer. It achieves unprecedented rate, reach and reliability on any grade of available copper and installs within minutes, enabling immediate deployment of broadband services. The ML1300 is interoperable with any standard Ethernet switch or router. Aligned with Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) recommendations, Actelis Networks® systems seamlessly integrate into carrier Ethernet networks.

Actelis ML 2300 Aggregation SwitchAvailable with front and rear access for International and North American markets, respectively, the ML2300 is the next generation of Actelis Networks® Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) aggregation switches, delivering symmetrical Ethernet access services to remote subscribers over multiple voice-grade copper pairs within the customer service area. Interoperable with any standard Ethernet switch or router and aligned with Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) recommendations, the ML2300 allows service providers and enterprises to use existing copper infrastructure to deliver up to 100 Mbps Ethernet service per customer in G.SHDSL.bis technologies, and has the infrastructure ready for advanced Layer 1 and Layer 2 applications and features available in future releases. The ML2300 also achieves unprecedented rate, reach and reliability on any grade of available copper and installs within minutes, enabling immediate deployment of broadband services.

Architecturally, the ML2300 platform serves as a central office aggregator in a Point-to-Multipoint topology, connecting to multiple ML600 Ethernet Access Devices (EADs). Each ML600 EAD or ML130 can be connected to the ML2300 via a High Speed Link (HSL) comprised of 1-8, or 1- 32, bonded copper pairs, respectively. A number of ML2300 shelves can be stacked in a star or ring topology, providing higher port density per uplink.

Actelis ML 130 Aggregation SwitchThe Actelis ML130 is an Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) aggregation platform that delivers symmetrical Ethernet services to remote subscribers over multiple voice-grade copper pairs within the customer service area. The ML130 allows service providers and enterprises to use the existing copper infrastructure to deliver up to 100 Mbps of Ethernet service per customer. The ML130 achieves unprecedented rate, reach and reliability on any grade of available copper and installs within minutes, enabling immediate deployment of broadband services. The ML130 is interoperable with any standard Ethernet switch or router. Aligned with Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) recommendations, Actelis systems seamlessly integrate into carrier Ethernet networks.

Architecturally, the ML130 platform serves as a central office aggregator in a Point-to-Multipoint topology connecting to multiple ML600 and ML50 Ethernet Access Devices (EADs). Each ML50/ML600 unit is connected to the ML130 via a High Speed Link (HSL) comprised of 1-8 bonded copper pairs. A number of ML130 systems can be stacked in a Star or Ring topology, providing flexible topology layouts and higher port density per uplink. Additionally, two ML130 systems can be connected together in a Point-to-Point topology, offering a HSL comprised of 1-32 bonded copper pairs. Moreover, the ML130 can be used in a Drop-and-Continue topology, splitting its 32 copper pairs in two directions to support a linear chain. Each node has full switching capabilities and can drop and add Ethernet traffic at each location while transferring the rest of the traffic through. For example, the ML130 may use some of its pairs to extend the reach of a CO to a remote location/terminal while using the remaining pairs to distribute the received CO Ethernet traffic over one or more HSLs to additional customers or further remote locations.
